Lileks was (and I presume he still is) a staple of the Twin Cities (that's in Minnesota, don't ya know) press, moving about from one publication to another, doing columns and books, vying for fame, making life -- or at least subscribing to the newspaper -- worthwhile. After being away from the 10,000 lakes for so long, I'm glad to hear that he's still there and in fine fettle. And, no doubt, good looking and above average.
